NOTE: As their name suggests hints are not exactly Major League Eating: The Game cheats, and are usually just simple (but very useful) tips on how you can unlock secret level, features, find hidden areas and such. Hopefully these will make playing Major League Eating: The Game even more entertaining.

Use Takeru Kobayashi in Versus Mode
After unlocking every other character (including The Bear), go into Versus Mode character selection screen. Have Player 1 move their cursor onto Tim Janus or Sonya Thomas and press up on the Wii remote control pad three times. After a short delay, an icon to use Takeru Kobayashi appears. You must enter this code every time you want to play as Takeru Kobayashi.
